  • FIG. 1 illustrates an example communications system 100.
  • Communications system 100 includes an evolved NodeB (eNB) 105 serving a plurality of user equipments (UEs), such as UE 110, UE 112, UE 114, and UE 116.
  • eNB 105 is serving the plurality of UEs by receiving transmission intended for a UE and then forwarding the transmitting to the UE or receiving a transmission from a UE and then forwarding the transmission to its intended destination.
  • eNB 105 and the plurality of UEs are said to be operating in a cellular mode.
  • eNBs may also be commonly referred to as NodeBs, access points, base stations, controllers, communications controllers, and the like, while UEs may also be commonly referred to as mobiles, mobile stations, terminals, users, subscribers, stations, and the like.
  • D2D communications is a different operating mode where UEs can directly transmit to one another without having their transmissions being relayed by an eNB.
  • UE 114 is communicating directly with UE 120.
  • UE 114 may be capable of communicating in the cellular mode, as well as in the D2D mode.
  • UE 120 is operating in a D2D mode, but it may also be possible that UE 120 is capable of operating in the cellular mode with eNB 105. However, such operation is not shown in Figure 1 .
  • communications systems may employ multiple eNBs capable of communicating with a number of UEs, only one eNB, and a number of UEs are illustrated for simplicity.
  • discovery is a process wherein a device can find other devices or be found by other devices. Through the discovery process, the device can find other devices with which to communicate.
  • eNB assisted discovery is one form of discovery.
  • a UE is directed to transmit a signal (e.g., a sounding reference signal (SRS) signal, a discovery-specific discovery signal, and the like) and another UE listens and reports the signal quality to the eNB.
  • the eNB may, based on the signal quality report, determine if D2D communications (for example) can be enabled to the two UEs.

  • Open discovery is another form of discovery.
  • UEs attempt to discover and be discovered by other UEs without being probed. Therefore, open discovery may be performed with limited facilitation by eNBs.
  • the eNB allocates communications system resources for the purpose of open discovery.
  • the communications system resources allocated for open discovery may generally consist of uplink (UL) subframes, however, other communications system resources may be used.
  • any UE can transmit a "beacon" signal, which may be referred to as a discovery signal, in one or more allocated communications system resources to advertise its presence to other UEs.
  • example embodiments disclose the use of discovery sequences that exploit time hopping to significantly improve the performance of discovery.
  • Example embodiments also disclose systems and methods to determine communications system resources in which to transmit the discovery signals.
  • D2D communication may occur over any network bandwidth.
  • D2D communication occurs on an UL portion of the network bandwidth in order to reduce the interference experienced by nearby UEs. More specifically, D2D transmissions on UL resources interfere with the eNB. As long as the D2D UE is a reasonable distance from the eNB, the interference created by the D2D UE has little impact on the eNB. Conversely, on DL portions of the network bandwidth, D2D transmissions affect neighboring UEs, and potentially, their ability to receive synchronization channels and physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) is affected, which may have a significantly higher negative impact than if the D2D UEs were transmitting on the UL.
  • PDCCH physical downlink control channel

  • the entirety of a subframe may be allocated for D2D open discovery, such as subframes 307, 309, and 311.
  • Subframes allocated for D2D open discovery may be periodic in nature. As an illustrative example, every N-th subframe may be allocated for D2D open discovery, where N is an integer value, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and the like.
  • D2D open discovery subframes are periodic in nature.
  • any subframe may be allocated for D2D open discovery as long as the UEs know the location of the subframe so that they can transmit discovery signals and listen for discovery signals of other UEs.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates an example subframe 400 allocated for D2D open discovery.
  • Subframe 400 includes a plurality of discovery resources (DR), such as DR1 405 and DR2 410.
  • DR discovery resources
  • subframe 400 includes 6 DRs, however, other subframe configurations may have different numbers of DRs.
  • Each DR may comprise a set of REs within the subframe.
